One of my sons had one of those mountain bikes.
I can't remember, what year it was.
I wish, I had a stash like that.

Not quite as beautiful as some of the bikes on show, but as my new daily driver I think it looks good.

Just bought a Genesis myself, lovely bikes. Here's my workhorse.

Nifty way to attach the front mudguard bypassing the disc caliper! :-)

Yeah, tempted to change the other side to match. Here is the reverse angle,

Personally I'd leave it for stability, having had a front mudguard get snagged on the tyre due to a small twig.
Nice bike thou. Super frames for the money.

An elegant solution. Well done.
Btw, lovely, practical looking bike.

Oh my god, it's like a nicer better looking, faster running version of my Commutourer.

Jealous.

really like Genesis bikes and would love to get my hands on this to replace my Felt Dispatch (nicked) but am finding it hard to part with 700 for it and is more than a kilo heavier.

I've just installed 105 groupset on my old beater, in few months I'm almost certain I am replacing the frame with either Croix de Fer or Equilibrium Disc :-)

I am treating myself to some personal browning points for letting that one go…

My new road bike with new wheels. It's a tcr composite built up with Ultegra 6700. The 105 groupset and basic wheels that came with it are now on my cross bike.

Are they Christmas decorations in the corner?

Yep. That was mid-build, and with campy wheels. Then it turned out that the 'problem' with the look was superficial. Then it turned out this was a better bike...

Yep, that's where we keep them. My cyclocross wheels live under the stairs, so there's no room anywhere else.

No need to explain. I just wanted to make sure that they weren't some kind of new clothes fashion that I have not yet heard of.

Don't worry about that. My glad rags have way more tinsel on them.

It justifies the copious amounts of chamois cream I keep in the other corner of the room.
